Marathon de Cheverny et trail des châteaux de la Loire

Reveal the lord in you, take advantage of the festive marathon to taste dishes fit for a king.

What you will find on site:

• Between road and trails, you have the choice. For the road, the distances range from 5 km to marathon. For the trail, three options: 14 km (zero elevation gain), 35 km with 300 m D+, or 63 km and 350 m D+. Something to get your kicks;

• Changing rooms, showers and lockers are provided. And during the marathon, pacemakers guide you to your royal time;

• And the refreshments? Two races, two atmospheres! On the road, 15 somewhat special stands await you; in trail, we focus on semi-autonomy with well-distributed water points.

Course focus:

The Cheverny Marathon is more than a race: it's a gastronomic, cultural and sporting adventure. With 15 gourmet refreshment points, you can take a break more or less every 2.5 km. AOC wines, sweet and savoury local products, bandas and singers, let's go for 42 km of fiesta. And if you're doing the half, good news: the route and stops are the same.

On the trail, it's a different story: imagine connecting Cheverny to Chambord by crossing the forested and wine-growing Sologne. Between majestic forests and estates opened especially for the occasion, each stride transports you to the time of the Renaissance. It's no wonder the event attracts more than 5,500 participants each year.
